DEATH AMID TRTUNPH.-Gen. Stone
died Just as he had finished his great
work of erecting the Bartholdi statue.
Roebling died just as he had perfected
his plans for the Brooklyn bridge. Mo
Fart died almost Immediately after fin
ishing his finest requiem. Robert Pollok
died soon after giving last touch to his
great poem. Fulton died before he had
perfected his steamboat system. Irving
died almost Immediately after publish
ing his Life of Washington, - which is
his greatest work, and Lord Macaulay
hardly completed his history when re-
moved ins a similar manner. GibbOn,
too, had but a brief enjoyment of his
fame, and De Witt Clinton died amid
the first success of the Erie canal, which
was due in great degree to his efforts.
How many other instances might be
mentioned of mortality accompanying
triumphs, and yet, when men leave such
works behind them, they have passed be-
yOnd the power of death, and the con-
summation of life's object is very appar-
ent to many.

ures has taken shape in a spirited let
ter from Mr.. Randall and others to
Speaker Carlisle. Randall and his
associates show that the Speaker will
be responsible if the revenue reform
is defeated in the House at this ses-
sion, because he refused, on Monday
of last week, to recognize the Demo-

tage with impartial satisfaction.

1.-THE GOOD PHYsICIAN.n

When Dr. Marcus Ide died in Saxon
vile, recently, there was great grief in
the town Of Birmingham, and a poem by
in the Boston Transcript as his fit epitaph.
DR.. Idle was well known in the northern
Connecticut valley, and i'll Vermont, his
native State-he cgme from Stowe; and
there are many in the regions where he
was familiar to appreciate the truth to
his character of these choice lines
Storms are remembered when the voyage is DER,
But not the breeze that waited us ashore;
If this once busy being was of those
Whom fame forgetS, it mars not his repOSe;
He never sought in life'S laboriOuS days
A large return, or loud or lasting praise;
But to the sacred task which heaven assigned
In pains hushed chamber gave his strength and
mind,
Believing so he served his master best,
Trusting the Great Physician for the rest.
We write his name on this pretencelesS stone,
To point his pillow to his friends alone;
Nor would we yeX his spirit to record
How much he did-hOw little his reward
Yet all he asked he had-and had he more
He could have all bestowed to bless the poor.

Disastrous Fire At st. Peter
Thirty One Buildings Burned.
Loss About $50, 600.

At 10 o'clock Saturday night the cry
of fire walked the people of St. Peter to
the fact that the business portion of the
town was in danger of being reduced to
ashes. The fire started in the old
Northwestern Barn and spread So rapid
ly that in one hour three story house
on the opposite corner of the block was
in ashes. An explosion of oil and pow
der in the basement of one of the burned
stores made the fremuch harder to con.
troll as it blew up through the roof and
made brick walls crumble that other
wise would have served as a check to the
progress of the flames. It looked at II
O'Clock as if four solid blocks must 90.
but by the excellent work of the firemen
assisted by the Mankato Fire Co., the
fire was checked when it seemed as if
the whole lower end of town must 90.
Thirty-one buildings were burned, twen-
ty one of which were places of business
among them the First National Bank,
VIM. Klein's Furniture Store. 0. An
derson Dry Goods, A. J. Lamberton
Dry Goods and Clothing Store, two
buildings. Co. NJ N. G.. lost their
Armory but saved all their arms and

were also burned as was Baker and
Co.'s Flour and Feed Store, American
Express Office and the Hardware Store
of G. w. Steinke. The loss will aggre-
gate about $3.50, 600 only partly covered
by insurance. The fact that the
merchants carried heavy stocks of fur
goods for the holiday trade and did not
carry full insurance makes the loss very
heavy. At any other season OF the
year the insurance would have very
nearly covered the loss. The majority
of those burned out will rebuilt as soon
as practicable, but 1t will be impossible

What Railroad Men Think.

Philadelphia Special. The general opin.
ion among railroad officials in this city is
that the action OF the interstate commercs
commission in the long and short haul
question concerning the Southern railroads
will crush the entire measure. They argue
that this is the most vital feature OF the
entire act and that the stand taken by the
commission, even though it be of q tenn
porary nature, is the entering wedge that
will split the whole log.
There is not u railroad Of any conse-
quence in the entire country" said one
prominent railroad executive officer,
that will not make the same claim rs that
contended for by the Southern lines, and
the Justice OF their claims cannot fail to be
recognized. Here in almost the first act OF
the commission they array against them ev-
cry railroad that has directly or remotely
awater route as competitor, and farther
than this, they have taken such position
as will unsettle the commercial affairs of the
country for three months or more"

important Cabinet Meeting,

Washington Special: Cabinet met on the
9Th, and remained in session over three
hours. The meeting was devoted almost
entirely to the consideration OF interna-
tional questions, the most important re-
lating to the Canadian fisheries, the policy
OF Great Britain in regard to the island OF
Hayti, and the seal fisheries of Alaska.
In regard to the fisheries question it is
understood that information has been re-
ceived to the effect that England sustains
the position taken by the Canadian au.
thorities and is in no wise disposed to make
concessions requested by this government.
This question was considered by the cab
met with the view to the advis.
ability Of suitable action by the
President under the provisions OF
the retaliatory act. The alleged de.
mand OF Great Britain for the possession
OF the Tortugas Islands, on the payment
by the Haytien government OF 81 900, 900
in settlement of the old claims was con-
sidered at some length. The United States
have great interests in Hayti, commercial
and otherwise, and are deeply concerned in
its welfare and prosperity. A corresponds
ence will be opened with Great Britain on
this subject.

Sulphur.

In the course OF q lecture on "Sul-
phur," delivered before the Polytech-
nic Society in Louisville the other
night, DIR. Howe said that this min.
aral substance was presumably pres
ent in large quantities in the interior
of the earth, combined with metals,
and hence is most largely found in the
vicinity of modern or ancient vol
canoes. 1t has originated there from
the sulphuretted hydrogen of volcanic
gases burning. and the products unit
ing with more sulphuretted hydrogen,
sulphur being deposited, as was shown
experimentally by leading the two
gases into large vessel, which soon
became coated with sulphur.
The greatest deposit OF sulphur in
the world is found in Sicily, and owes
it's foundation to Mt. 4Etna. The
rocks impregnated with sulphur are
piled into sort of kiln and set on
fire, some of the sulphur burning,
while the remainder melts and runs
into pits beneath, and is purified by
distillation.
A flask containing ulphur was then
melted, the liquid being first light am
Der colored and as thin as water; but
as it was heated higher. it grew thick.
er, until it was so thick and syrupy
that the flask could be inverted with
out the melted sulphur running out.
On heating it still more. it grew thin,
and when it was then poured out in
to water, thus being suddenly cooled,
it was elastic, and resembfed yellow
India rubber. 1t was also shown
that the vapor of sulphur, when sud-
denly cooled, forms "flower of sui
phur," which, DIR. Howe said, would
be more properly called flour OF sul-
phur.
The powers of combustion were
then sho wn by burning sulphur in the
air where it burned with a
faint blue flame, and then in
an atmosphere OF pure oxygen, where
a brilliant combustion resulted. The
combustion Of sulphur with combined
oxygen was Illustrated by rubbing it
with chlorate OF potassium, a salt
which contains much oxygen. Aseries
of explosions showed the action TAX
ing place. This also illustrated the
part sulphur plays in gunpowder,
which is 9 mixture OF sulphur, char
coal and saltpetre.
The uses Of sulphur he explained,
are many and varied. Alone, sulphur
Is used as a cement and the plastic
form for taking casts, while large guam
titles are used in gunpowder. The
sulphurous acid gas, ioupd by the
burning of sulphur in oxygen, gave the
lecturer sn opportunity of showing
its bleaching power on cloth and on
flowers, its action being milder than
that Of chlorine, shown the previous
week. The fumes Of burning sulphur
are also one Of the simplest and best
diainfectants, a few pieces of sulphur
burned on a hot shovel fumigatinQ q
room thoroughly. The greatest
amount Of sulphur ia used for the
manufacture Qt the oil OF vitriol, or
sulphurie acid, this sulphur being gen.
orally obtained from iron pyrites, or
FOOLS gold. The lecturer then alluded
to sulphuretted hydrogen as the SUBJ
stance which gives to sulphur water
ita properties, and showed it's use to
the chemist in the analysis OF various
metals from the colors Of the different
sulphides found when the sulphuretted
hydrogen gas is led into solutions oi
the metals.
